Buhari Warns Against Obi-Kwankwaso's 2027 Political Strategy

Buhari made a statement during an interview with Trust TV, addressing the political calculations of Peter Obi and Rabi'u Kwankwaso concerning the upcoming 2027 general elections. He expressed concern over their idea of a single four-year term, suggesting it poses a danger to the political landscape and the established northern political framework.

Buhari indicated that Obi's desperation to engage in politics stems from a lack of operational space within the current democratic parameters. He emphasized that the All Progressives Congress (APC) understands the mental psychology of Nigerian voters, noting that they are often attracted to new ideas.

Buhari's comments reflect apprehension about the implications of such political strategies on the broader democratic experience in Nigeria.
